So, I’ve been on this challenge now coming close to 6 weeks and about 4.5/5 weeks of blogging and a whole new set of challenges has arisen.

Originally I wished to document everything i wanted to do on this blog, however I mentioned something openly and had to take the post down within hours as people almost immediately started to copy it. It does not make any business sense to create my own competition and thus there has to be some changes to way I report what I do. I will only really document what I have done to:

1) People who are paying me in my ‘upcoming’ coaching program

2) or after a set time delay on the newsletter area of my blog.

This led me to rethink what exactly I would blog about, that would still stick to my ambition and still add value to my readers.  But this brainstorming actually turned into some really great quality content. This content will be broken down into a series of articles on a few key themes which will show my readers how i progressed and how step by step readers can follow the key ingredients to create success within their own niches. These articles will focus initially on the following areas:

• Focus for success. A series of 10 articles with exercises to build a perfect foundation.
• Market research. A Series of 12 articles to detail the a-z of conducting Market research related to an online niche
• Content Generation. A 15 article series which details how to create good quality content, and with ease.
• Launch Strategy. A series of 10 articles detailing How to plan a perfect product launch
• Marketing 101. A series on articles which bring you success fast. More advanced techniques will be kept for my coaching program, with a glimpse of the quality content here.
• Mentor finding. Series of articles on how to find and keep a mentor. Ho to make best use of a mentor and important things to keep in mind.
• Guest postings. I’m blessed to have some very top quality marketers follow this blog, so I’m going to regularly give these guests a chance to showcase their talent and themselves to my audience. I will choose these guests by the quality of feedback left on my blog.
• Success showcase. A showcase of my success and those of my new students, so you know first hand how it all works.

I have no regrets as to how this blog has developed over the first four weeks. Within this short time, I am not only indexed by Goggle but also have a PR1, which shows I am doing something right. My first free ebook of the challenge should be good to go this weekend, and my first paid project by the month end.

I’m a little bit behind my planned schedule as I lost a little focus and got a little disheartened by having to miss so many luxuries that I am used to. I’m very glad I hit this low point and it helps me realise just how hard it is for some people and how hard it is to keep focus when you are wondering how to pay next months rent. I’m very used to working with ‘well to do people’ who already have some success, but now I have opened myself up to a whole new target audience who possible number 10 times more then my previous audience.

Life is still not easy, I do not have next months rent yet, but I hope first paid product of the challenge will solve that issue completely…
